Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me (Instrumental)

The official instrumental version of Kendrick Lamar's Sing About Me

[stateyoursource]

The beat is a hypnotic jazzy snare pattern meant to create an unsettled sense of regularity and normalcy to the chaos in the hood. The fact that we’re all vibing to the instrumental almost hides the fact that this song is literally about the death of a close friend and his final request to Kendrick to keep him alive through his art.

kendrick lamar has such good taste in instrumentals. All his shit has a deeper more concious feel to it...even without the lyrics.

[TenshinhanIsKing]

The gun shots scared the shit out of me

[Thisisdarkdata]

after what kendrick did to this beat, none of you should be allowed to post any lyrics by the legal order of youtube.

[benlee]

This instrumental made me tear up its so beautiful

[brycetenass]

The instrumental alone is heavenly, this is my all time favorite song. Its literally a masterpiece.

[sforde]

This should be played when companies leave you on hold on the phone.

Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine. This instrumental particularly

[ETHICC]

I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away, I know my fate...

[MackB.]

This is timeless. I think everybody had moments when this was out.

[TheNiiickster]

still love this song and instrumental all these years later. It is truly a masterpiece. Enjoying the Heart part 6 and gnx album as I type this but had to come back and feel the nostalgia of this album.

[DanielJimenezUCDJ]

god, this one song pushes me to be a better artist in a way that no other song can

[akeemtinsley]

I remember listening to this album when it first released and this was my favorite song on there because it was a continuation of Keisha's Song. Then when he gets to the brother and the gunshots popped off, I almost teared up because I had become attached to the narrative. Even listening to this instrumental and hearing just the sound brings up that memory.

in 2013 two of my friends passed away from me in a span of a couple months apart. This song was what I kept on repeat 24/7 when they passed away. RIP I know yall are watching over us...

[MrKajithecat]

I'm feeling a Nujabes vibe coming from this.

[mrbigglesworthify]

Listening to this beat makes me reminisce about the past and think on the direction im heading towards

[dayman]

I love the little timing imperfections on this beat. Sounds like it was chopped on an old sampler or something. Such a beautiful instrumental

[bao]

bruh the gunshots at 2:00 caught me off guard

[danielvargas]

Every time I hear this instrumental, it makes me remember my grandma and grandpa, and all the love they gave me when they were here. My grandma died in 2016 from breast cancer. My grandpa died in 2017 from smoking too much. It also makes me sad about Kendrick's story too because he lost loved ones as well.

The Bill Withers drum breaks...the "promise that you sing about me, my brother oooohh" voice sample, the glide of this track is one of the best.
